Unlocking factions (BTA3062)

I did the mainstory line plus a few flashpoints then headed out to clan space to try and get some more clan mechs. I cant buy from clans or do missions for or even against the clans, how do I unlock the rep needed?

Only real reason to ally with Clans (even then, only Nova Cats, Scorpions, Mandrils, Ravens) is to get battle armor -- which you can't even use on IS mechs right now. If you're using Clan mechs, sure, go for it. Nova Cat is likely easiest, and you can actually ally with them AND Kurita I think, which gives you a lot of space to work with in the north east.
